哺乳动物毛色形成机制与影响因素

哺乳动物拥有丰富多彩的毛色,对于多种多样的动物毛色,影响其形成的可能原因较多,遗传物质与环境的相互作用不可忽视。本文针对调控黑色素细胞形成及褐黑色素、真黑色素合成的相关基因,分析了哺乳动物毛色形成的可能机制,并对研究不同毛色动物的同种动物遗传差异的方法进行了讨论。

The Formation Mechanism of Mammal Coat Color and Its Possible Influencing Factors

Mammals have several coat colors.When thinking about why the coat colors vary a lot,the influences caused by the interaction of genetics and environmental factors should not be ignored.Analyzing the genes which regulate the formation of melanocyte and melanin,and studying the associated environmental factors can provide the possibility for further investigations.In this article,we discussed the alternative methods for analyzing the reason that may cause the different coat colors in genetic level.
